Get a Taste of Spring at the Boston Flower & Garden Show

Spring is in the air…or at least a taste of it. Typical of New England, warm weather comes and goes—leaving us wanting more warmth and sunshine. Early signs of spring include buds sprouting on the trees, snow piles melting and runners training for the marathon. 

With spring on the way, why not get out and literally smell the flowers? The annual Boston Flower & Garden Show, at the Seaport World Trade Center from March 12th-16th features a great theme, Romance in the Garden.

This event is ideal for those who have an appreciation for, or want to develop an understanding about, beautiful floral designs. This event inspires you and gives you ideas to make your apartment, home, and where applicable, outdoor space, lush and colorful.  You will be amazed by the way nurseries, horticulturists and amateur gardening enthusiasts transform the Trade Center.

The Garden Show is much more than flower arrangements, you will see everything from a Garden of Cakes—where a Sweet Tooth meets a Green Thumb; freestanding gardens inspired by a romantic novel, movie or song; an exhibit using bicycles as floral containers; as well as amateur competitions in a variety of divisions.

Aside from inspiring and impressing, the Flower & Garden Show will give you a chance to learn. There is a full program of daily lectures, how-to demos, and hands-on workshops!  For a full listing of subjects and times visit the Boston Flower & Garden Show website.

Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children, $17 for seniors and can be purchased online or at the event.
